This October I was already planning another daily art project (coz Halloween time is my favorite time!) but alas circumstances didn't allow me as I had to be busy moving out. After 4 days of packing-loading-moving-unloading, FINALLY I finished moving out of dorm and moving into my new rental home..!! FINALLY Ima have MY OWN wiiiiide space yeeehawww..!!!
Actually it's been three weeks already since I moved but even today I still haven't finished totally settling down coz I simply must clean up my things before I organize and put them on a rack, in the room, and so on to feel complete - one dusty book (about 6-7 standard boxes) at a time, one pair of shoes, one vase, one (book) case, one box of art medium, one electronic equipment etc at a time! And I had to get a few new things too along the way to help organize and doll up the space.
One thing I'd miss from my old place? The dorm kitty, "Queen Sheba", whom I didn't succeed pilling when she got flu lol (later somehow she managed to recover on her own). Thankfully there's another guy who's fond of that kitty too so now he's in charge of her daily meal and EVERYTHING mwahaha..!! Bye bye mah queen, be a good kitty when I'm gone! *cries* |
| Love you always & forever, my elegant, independent, adventurous queen kitty, kiss-kiss, hug-huggg..!! |
And about my new place? Just LOVE the house: the original interior design and amenities, great
access to important facilities nearby, quiet & safe neighborhood, kind and
reliable landlord, and all with REASONABLE, AFFORDABLE PRICE!! Just
thanks so much o' kind & generous Universe..!!
Aaah mon dieu.. thanks so much for the rooms - ALL for me me ME!! Finally I've got more than enough space for storage, clutter no moar! And as I'm happily sleeping in the living room (the sofa-bed is already comfy), I can use the master bedroom for my surreal-ish zen garden project or general 'photo studio', and the second bedroom for my LIBRARY and music studio, yassss..!! (Though still saving for a digital piano and other instruments, full sound system, and soundproofing for the walls.) Can't wait to finally go FULL THROTTLE with my art projects, writing projects, puzzle hunts, songwriting and performing, and all possible combination projects there are..!!! But I'm gonna need time to adjust coz since I've been here I tend to continue my sleep so soundly until noon lmao - that's how peaceful this place is!
Call me dramatic, I mean by thousands of sunken treasures to me this is like a SUPERNOVA. no, more like a birth of a star (maybe out of 'destruction' / leaving the old state), BLOOMING OF A FLOWER, a thundering rain after a 400-year drought, a lone survivor made it to a lush tropical island after 50 days floating on the rough sea..!! With significantly more space, means a great, HUGE deal of blockages are FULLY LIFTED, VIRTUALLY ZERO defense and inhibitions!!! Finally, I can DROP 99% of my SURVIVAL stance and TOTALLY PLAY - I mean I've dropped already a great deal of those already since a few years ago (hope I'll be brave enough to tell the story someday) but this checkpoint is an ENTIRELY NEW BREAKTHROUGH LEVEL IMA SO HAPPY CRYING CRYSTAL TEARS..!!! Aaahahahahahaha.. I made it, I FREAKIN' MADE IITTT..!!!

| Present alignment is great enough..!! |
Back to Earth, some complaints though:
1. The running water is not so ideal, so I have to get extra filters myself, thankfully those are relatively cheap and work wonderfully!
2. The place is generally 98% clean but apparently can't help having the roaches (indoor & outdoor) and 1-2 rats (outdoor), ugggh, especially in this rainy season!! Doesn't matter, Ima ready for WARRR using all the traps, repellents, poisons, BB guns, etc etc WHATEVER IT TAKES until they're GONE 99,99% in 100 m radius..!!
3. Since now I've got all the wide space for myself, the mosquitos are now a problem too. Also the flying termites in this rainy season, huehh..!
4. When it's raining cats and dogs (which always is, in the rainy season), the main road which contains a pretty strategic intersection to other main roads would get flooded, thus there is horrible traffic. But thankfully the home has multiple access, which means there are many ways to get here, although those alternate roads might get jam-packed as well coz everybody else would look for alternate routes too *facepalm*.
Not fully ideal but this is so much enough for now! Guess I'll be really 100% liberated and happy once I find a totally-me rental home or buy or build my own: one with a super wide lawn where I can build a full-scale Japanese rock garden complete with a fish pond, mini fountain & waterfall, etc etc and a thick-walled, fully padded, and stocked music studio, all of course with superb amenities, great access to important facilities but located somehow in the middle of 'nowhere' lmao - next bucket list in the game!

| My version of table zen garden. |
Anyway, EVERYTHING is SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER now, thanks so much dear Universe! Au revoir, my old setup, which I had been grateful for as well!
 |
| My lovely, contemplative, dark-academia-ish old workspace. |
 |
| A journaling session. |
 |
| My guilty-not-guilty pleasure: printing & collecting curious criminal cases, huehehe.. (All sorts of "-cides" coz human behaviors are so intriguing!.) |
 |
| Gotta show off this cool SP logo design I discovered & bought mwahaha..! |
 |
| A puzzle hunt session. |
 |
| Loved my artificial 'indoor garden'! Let's see if I can finally get real plants from now on. |
 |
 |
| Carpe diem!! |
 |
| The black marble texture, the artificial plants, and those raw amethysts were kinda grounding & calming to me. |
 |
| A very late night e-journaling session via my phone. |
Thanks so much o' Universe that I actually got everything I needed in this transition: the fund to survey for houses in locations far apart, the fund to help with the move, the fund for rent and every other bill necessary, even the fund for extra decors, not to mention my physical, mental, emotional, spiritual HEALTH & INDEPENDENCE (which are waaaay worth beyond golds and diamonds)..!!!
'Thanks' even for all the past shortcomings, blockages, problems from the old places coz those have truly made me STRONGER from the ground up, not to mention made me able to GENUINELY. APPRECIATE. all the good things in this new place..!!
And now, NEW BIGGER WORLD, heeeere I coooommeee..!!
 |
| Le nouveau setup, still lots to organize and decorate. |
 |
| New horizon awaits! |

PS:
Oh hello there!
 |
| Found a Lord Kitteh! |
I noticed now most cats around here have owners, seemingly well-cared and happy coz either they're wearing tags or simply look clean and gorgeous like the one above - good sign! Anyway, I'd still be happy to feed any stray I meet around if any coz you simply must protect all kittehs in the multiverse..!!
